When it comes to the Philippines, many people would think, "Is there anything to do in the Philippines? Actually, there are a lot of places to play in the Philippines! It is a country of many islands, and each island has its own unique place, the most famous one is diving.
Moalboal is a small town on the west side of Cebu Island in the Philippines, known for its world-class diving, beaches and sardine run. It is considered by many to be the "hidden gem" of Asian dive destinations.
Many people who go to the Philippines don't choose to come to Moalboal, but it is a truly fun and worthwhile place to visit. When diving in Moalboal, you can see a variety of corals in crystal clear water and if you are lucky, you can even encounter sea turtles.
There are thousands of sardines in Moalboal, which is also known as the most famous sardine run, and even if you just snorkel from the shore, you can still see this magnificent side. Bohol in Cebu also has sardine storms, and the sardine storms here are the largest. The sardines are here to escape the typhoon, so they came from the islands in the central Philippines since 3 or 4 years ago.
Most of the hotels in the town are just a 10-minute walk away and you can dive directly. Snorkeling ashore you can see thousands of sardines, which is perfect for families with small children to dive without worrying about safety. The best time to see sardines is in the morning, most tourists who live far away travel by bus at 5 o'clock. In the morning, the number of people is small and the visibility is high, so it is suitable for quiet viewing.
The population of this town is only 30,000 people, and the town mainly relies on fishing and tourism development. While Murbaugh was only patronized by backpackers who loved diving, the Asian faces that used to come here for tourism were more Korean. As diving and sardine storms became more famous, more tourists came.
It's not just the diving and sardine run that make Moalboal stand out as a stop on people's travels at a time when the tourist market is becoming saturated. More important is the atmosphere here, the people are very simple, prices are also very low, visitors who have come to play have a particularly good evaluation of him. The few elements of the trip are just to have fun and play cheaply, and to save money while having fun, why not? So Moalboal's fame was created, and more and more people are willing to come to this town.
